Weather Radio

If you live in a storm-prone area, this is a must-have and quite
inexpensive. This little AM/FM radio can also pick up the National Weather
Service. Of course, not too many people sit around and listen to the
weather, so this radio can automatically turn on when there is a special
alert (in other words, bad weather you want to know about). Imagine
sleeping through a tornado. This radio could save your life! Could be the
best $20 or so you've ever invested.

You can also check out this version that has a SAME decoder that allows
you to only get alarms for a very specific area. Without SAME you might
get an alert for a tornado in North Houston, but you only want to know
about South Houston weather. SAME is good if you live in an area where the
weather is often different on one side of town from the other. In
practice, I prefer to know when the weather is bad even if it is near by.
